Chapter 443
Chapter 443: This Guy is Very Strong
The factory was surrounded by a large group of police officers.
Numerous officers were searching the factory with flashlights, only finding traces left behind from the battle, but no other discoveries.
This time, besides Lin Meiyong coming over, he also brought the superintendent, who was everyone’s superior leader – Zhang Tianlong.
A platinum 5-star powerhouse.
After all, the moment Luo Sheng pressed the alarm, the Security Bureau’s computer terminal displayed that Sima Shengnan’s life was in danger.
Therefore, the alert level was raised to level 3, which is the level used when platinum-level enemies appear.
The superintendent mobilized for rescue, while the inspector stood by.
Zhang Tianlong looked at the blood-covered Sima Shengnan, then glanced at Luo Sheng who only had a few scratches and appeared quite energetic. “You’re that guy who got in through the back door, right?”
“That’s right.”
“She shielded you?”
“Not exactly. She saw me as a supervising officer, so she threw me to the back and fought alone bravely.” Luo Sheng answered simply.
When Zhang Tianlong first arrived, Luo Sheng had quietly put away all his cards and pretended to look disheveled.
Because Sima Shengnan’s condition was terrible.
If he didn’t pretend a little, he would likely provoke public anger.
He just didn’t expect the superintendent to see through it, so Luo Sheng made up a lie.
“It’s good that you’re alright.” Zhang Tianlong nodded.
He originally thought this guy had been hiding behind Sima Shengnan the whole time, completely unlike a man, even a coward.
After all, someone who got in through connections, hiding behind others was understandable.
Zhang Tianlong would despise him severely.
However, he didn’t expect Luo Sheng’s words to be reasonable, not at all like a workplace rookie.
Zhang Tianlong couldn’t make an assessment, so he just asked: “What happened earlier?”
“We first encountered the Evil Card Master’s No. 2 figure – Murong Yu, then they started fighting, and the Soul Ferryman took advantage of the situation. In the critical moment, I had no choice but to call for backup.” Luo Sheng summarized briefly.
He very concisely explained what happened.
Zhang Tianlong frowned upon hearing this.
Obviously, they encountered no small crisis this time, even beyond his handling capabilities.
He said into the walkie-talkie: “Notify all units, the opponent’s strength is very high, be careful when dealing with them, immediately sound the alarm if anything happens.”
Then he said to Lin Meiyong: “Quickly send Sima Shengnan to the hospital, and bring this corpse back too. You come back to the Security Bureau with me for a bit.”
This was originally something level 1 and 2 patrol officers would do.
But with the superintendent’s order, Lin Meiyong had to comply.
So he nodded and said: “Yes, sir.”
Soon after, Luo Sheng rode a police vehicle back to the Security Bureau, in a closed conference room.
Only Zhang Tianlong and Luo Sheng were seated.
This was Luo Sheng’s first time encountering such a big incident, coming to the Security Bureau’s highly confidential conference room.
But he wasn’t nervous.
After all, he had Yuchi Xueyao as his backing, so it shouldn’t be a big problem. Luo Sheng showed a very casual demeanor, lounging in the conference chair in a relaxed pose.
However, Zhang Tianlong frowned slightly.
Obviously, he didn’t quite approve of Luo Sheng’s behavior, but he didn’t say anything.
Because Yuchi Ouyang was about to come in soon.
Click.
Speak of the devil.
The metal door opened, and Yuchi Ouyang walked in from outside, with some thick files tucked under his arm.
The moment Luo Sheng saw him, he immediately asked: “How is Sima Shengnan’s condition now?”
“The doctor said she just passed out. Although she was seriously injured, because of her strong constitution, she should recover quickly, but still needs to rest for a few days.”
Yuchi Ouyang said simply.
Luo Sheng pondered: “That’s good then. If something really happened to her, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to shirk responsibility.”
At this point, Yuchi Ouyang said irritably:
“You do have responsibility. She took risks, and you actually didn’t stop her, letting her charge in there alone. The opponent was a platinum Evil Card Master!”
He then took out Luo Sheng’s statement and files.
Slam!
He slapped them down on the conference table.
They were basically Luo Sheng’s statement.
It roughly described how he was suddenly asked by Sima Shengnan to go on a mission, and had no choice but to follow due to her being one rank above him.
But because he was a special dispatch from the bureau chief, Sima Shengnan treated him as a supervising presence, and he suffered various contempt. Then she charged into the factory area ahead.
Finally, she battled fiercely with the Evil Card Master, resulting in injury and fainting, while the Evil Card Master Murong Yu also overconsumed his spiritual power due to fighting her.
In the end, Luo Sheng took advantage of the situation.
Luo Sheng quietly pushed all the credit to her, praising her great contributions, in order to divert everyone’s attention.
He didn’t want people to know his true strength.
Yuchi Ouyang stared at Luo Sheng with eagle eyes, making Luo Sheng quite uncomfortable.
So he defended himself: “Sima Shengnan is famous for being competitive… no, I mean full of righteousness. I’m only Gold 1-star, I couldn’t stop her.
Besides, she warned me not to interfere with her business, or else she’d teach me a lesson, so I could only silently follow behind her.”
Yuchi Ouyang had a look of utter disbelief.
In any case, he didn’t believe a single word Luo Sheng said.
Especially since Yuchi Xueyao told him that this guy was cowardly and lazy, only willing to move if there was profit.
So, this guy’s mouth was full of lies.
Yuchi Ouyang shook his head: “You’d better be telling the truth, after all, you had the ability to stop her from taking risks. Don’t say you couldn’t beat her.”
“I am indeed slightly inferior to her in rank.”
“But you’re on par with her in strength.”
“But my position is one rank below hers, so by rights I should obey her orders. Besides, she treated me as a suspect, always on guard against me.”
Luo Sheng had a look of playing dumb.
Zhang Tianlong, who had been sitting quietly on the side listening to their argument, was suddenly speechless.
The more he heard, the more strange it seemed.
After all, Luo Sheng had just joined the Security Bureau as a rookie, also a fledgling detective, with strength yet to be verified.
But in Yuchi Ouyang’s words, he was described as a Card Master who could rival Sima Shengnan.
He could even restrain Sima Shengnan.
Zhang Tianlong became very puzzled.
Finally, he quietly asked from the side: “Is he really that strong?”
Yuchi Ouyang irritably took a sip of water, then heavily put the cup down on the table.
“I promised this guy to keep it confidential, so I don’t know his level, but his abilities are on par with Sima Shengnan, maybe even stronger than her, so you’ll have to guess for yourself.”
Hey hey hey, this is going too far!
You promised to keep it secret for me.
Is this considered keeping it secret?
This is practically indirectly telling others my trump card.
Luo Sheng was immediately displeased. He still wanted to quietly muddle along in the Security Bureau, but Yuchi Ouyang obviously didn’t want to let him off.
He didn’t know if using 【Heaven’s Oath】 would still be effective now.
Zhang Tianlong looked at Luo Sheng with an even stranger expression.
Yuchi Ouyang seemed unable to let it go.
He quietly added: “The forensic identification is out. That Evil Card Master’s second-in-command was taken down by this guy.
The medical examiner said Sima Shengnan didn’t cause him much damage. His head was stabbed by a dagger, his mental space was disrupted, and finally he was punched and stabbed to death.
If it was Sima Shengnan, she couldn’t possibly have created wounds like that, so obviously it could only be this kid.”
After hearing this, Zhang Tianlong’s jaw dropped so wide he could fit an egg in his mouth.
Then he turned his head to look at Luo Sheng with a strange expression.
He found it hard to believe.
After all, in the reputation he had heard, Luo Sheng was considered the worst in the Security Bureau.
He directly parachuted in as a detective, and his abilities weren’t as high as imagined, just a novice Gold 1-star.
This level of Card Master was a dime a dozen in universities.
Although the Security Bureau had rank and position thresholds, they also needed to look at some seniority and work experience.
But what he heard now was.
Luo Sheng’s strength was actually stronger than Sima Shengnan, and he even took down a platinum-level Evil Card Master.
This guy was extraordinary!
Luo Sheng was quite speechless. He just coughed and continued lying: “I’m not that strong, am I? Besides, my level is only Gold 1-star.”
“I didn’t reveal your level either.” Yuchi Ouyang said seriously, glancing at him with a “what can you do about it” look.
Luo Sheng: “…”
He was speechless for a while.
Finally, he reluctantly accepted this fact.
After all, their strength and rank were both higher than his, not to mention the chief of the Security Bureau. With them exposing his identity, Luo Sheng couldn’t do anything about it.
He could only change the subject: “This operation had some unexpected gains.”
As Luo Sheng spoke, he took out the surveillance device installed in the control room.
He had already copied the earlier audio to his phone and would transfer it to Xu Yourong later. Now he took out this evidence.
Placing it on the table.
An exquisite pinhole camera, with a voice recorder.
“There’s footage here of an Evil Card Master trading with a man in black. I estimate that black-clothed man belongs to a certain family force in Yuncheng.”
Luo Sheng directly dropped this bombshell news.
Hearing this, the two men’s expressions became complex.
